First Grade Friday News - February 4


Check out these opportunities to share God’s love with people around the world:
  • Chapel offerings through February 13 will go to Heifer International.  We will start by buying a water buffalo to give to a family overseas.  We hope to also buy a llama. Send your banks back to school when they are full.
·       Two members of Christ Lutheran are traveling to Rwanda to visit the Rwandan Orphans Project (ROP). We want to send basic necessities with them for these school-aged boys!  You can continue to send needed items for the next several weeks.   We are collecting the following items to send to these boys: Blue and black ink pens, Black cotton socks (for boys, ages 5-18), Cotton underwear (for boys, ages 5-18), Soccer balls (we will send them deflated.)
 
  • Your children can read books on the site:  wegivebooks.org    When children read books on this site, books are donated to global literacy charities.
Are you checking our blog each week for photos of your kids involved in all sorts of activities at school?
